Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

So where are the vids?

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

that awsome a sard bov and t-bolt clamps on a toyota tercell

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

no vids yet, we swapped in some bigger injectors & it fouls the plugs...so back to the stockers right now, since it runs fine then

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

Sinktrap...nice.

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

you have to have something to control the injectors. its not like a carb where if you need more fuel you can just swap jets.

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

hell yeah. Nice setup. Nice fab work. Charge pipe looks tits.

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

yeah, we have a SAFC 2, but its not fully wired up yet...so we wanted to be safe & rich initially by running the big injectors, but it was toooooooo rich

stock injectors, 3.5lbs of boost & she runs smooth, not really fast tho, it now keeps up with my DD 2.0 CVT Caliber on the highway, lol...it feels like the old worn out motor with the 25shot on it, but "feels" ain't ----, 'till he takes it to the track

the charge pipe was nice, but then after i bent it, it needed a few tweaks from the crush bender it get just right...so its not pretty, & i'll prolly remake it another day down the road

i'm really glad i ran the uppipe/sinktrap the way i did...just gave me enough room for the 4efte oil filter mount/relocator & locate the O2 in basically the stock location

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

i should note we are running a Tial wastegate (thats open also) & open downpipe for now...i did not want to burn up his cat playing with tuning

i have a pipe bent up, to go from the turbo to the rest of the exhaust, but its just not on the car yet, plus i got to run a pipe from the wastegate into the exhaust also

everything was used, BOV, WG, TD04HL-15g turbo

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

Nice , vids needed O0

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

i might be able to get some vids by the end of the week, plus some new pics of everything...especially after i redid alot of the vacuum lines

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

that's hmt!

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

well, she runs much faster then i predicted, 7tenths faster over its previous n/a times, & that was spinning, alot

heres one of his passes vs. our good buddy with Tercel1...which normally runs bottom 14s, upper 13s

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

now thats some home made turbo shitssss ;D
you definetly need to post a video or something :)

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

goddamn noobs

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

seriously, especially since his post is right after my post with the vid links ::)

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

Cant wait for the OOPs thread...


With pics of pistons with at LEAST holes in them

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

oh yee of little faith >:D

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

in before carnage pics..

setup looks tits, very HMT. gangster ass sinktrap as well

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

That ---- looks nice...especially the upper charge piping.

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

Awesome

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

i thought you said it wasnt pretty ??? looks titts def need them bigger injectors and more boost.. did you try unhooking the fpr and plug the vacuum when running the stock injectors ??

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

its running fine right now, once the wideband gets here, we will start turning up the boost & adding more fuel

its running 3.5-4psi on a completly stock fuel system, & actully seems to run smoother then it used to

i say its not pretty, cuz after bending up the charge pipe on the mandrel bender, i later had to tweak it with the press bender to get another 2 degrees...& so its got that little rib on the outside from the shoes, & the part going into the TB is a mess...its all getting redone with an intercooler in the coming weeks, so it will do for now

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

What year model car is this?? I'm trying to picture what this car looks like. I'm sure it's a small car...with the boost turnt up I'm sure it's gonna haul ass.

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

just watch the video

i think its an 88-92? coupe

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

the generation for this car is '91-'94

this particular car is either a '91 or '92...i cannot remember, it weighs in around 2400lbs with a 375lbs driver

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

heres some vids

best pass so far;

when he says ----, thats when the cop flips his lights on, lol

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

What did you run? I couldnt tell...

not the fastest car on the block but a badass project nonetheless. SloS13 approved. O0

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

You running the SAFC or none at all?

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

safc 2

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

Before the SAFC, where you using check valves? Also are you using the stock clutch?

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

Looks Aruban. They love to turbo Tercels and Starlets here, run em with Microtech stand alone. We have some pretty fast one's running 10's there's even a daily driver running 9's http://videos.streetfire.net/video/O...t-a_124298.htm Check it out!! This dude Orlando, drives to the track, changes 2 slicks and than races.He's one of the most respected tuners here

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

i made a Lowe's special, PVC vacuum manifold with 3 fish tank check valves on it, the computer doesn't hit fuel cut, & it works very well

the computer hits fuel cut at around 5psi, we added one check valve, that got us to 5.5, then added 2 more for a little extra security once we turn the boost up over 6.5 once i install his intercooler, which just came in today...its seckseh

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

she's intercooled now, as of saturday night, so i cranked the boost controller in like 6 turns, but a nasty exhaust leak developed at the sinktrap to manifold connection...preventing full boost & killing repsonse, tried to fix it sunday but it lasted 2 pulls, one hit just over 9psi, the other 8, & its now back to a lazy 7psi

looks like i got to yank the manifold & try a few ideas out that i have in mind

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

One more question, have you changed the routing of the pcv valve?

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

yeah, in the pics up top, that is what i did initially, then i relized, it won't work, so right after the pics, i ran dump lines...eh, its not perfect, but until Austin gets a catch can, i dunno what else to do

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

what are you going to do?, i wounder if people with sinktraps have a extra brace somewere on the uppipe to turbo
to keep it tight.

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

redesign the flange connection...sort of...i have a few ideas, that should work fine, but it involves removing the damn manifold again

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

just cough up the money for a 4e and boost the living hell out of it with a t28

oh yeah ...... the first car that i ever fixed up was a tercel.....nitrous fed though



Attachment 16038

damn i miss my work wheels

Re: custom ghetto turbo tercel
 

yeah, uh, its faster then most stock & slightly modified 4efte swapped tercels, for much less $$$ also
